| The Haul |
I really didn't expect to be writing this post today. I was just expecting to go into Bakewell and have a mooch around before returning back to Cromford,
The Vinyl District told me that the nearest record shops were in Sheffield , Derby and Nottingham. However I knew there was a musical instrument shop there, so thought I might drop in and see what I could see.
Talked with the guy in the
Bakewell Music Shop and bought a couple of CDs buy what I thought were local bands.
Silent Time are a local band , but
Hank Sundown and The Roaring Cascades despite having a song about Wolverhampton are, in fact, Scandinavian.
Reminds of an artist in the seventies called
Hank C Burnette who loved rock and roll, but didnt know about bass guitars so with a muktitack tape recorder and a detuned normal guitar produced an album called
Spinnin' Rock Boogie , the lead track was issued by Charly records and became a hit single several years later. As John Peel said he was probaly called Sven! Anyway Hanks Sundown's facebook page is
here. So 3 CDs and a good crack with the owner definitely worth a visit if you are in the vicinity.
Next I wandered in a local indoor market area and found
Flamingo Lane Music. Similar experience to Bakewell Music and picked up a couple of reggae CDs and a live
Deep Purple DVD. Very impressed and this makes Bakewell not a bad place to pick up some music. It was topped off by picking up a hefty tome about the
Clash and a couple of punk and post punk volumes from a local book shop, So that's listening and reading catered for for a few weeks.
These are in addition to Bakewell's food shops , pubs , ice cream parlours. An unexpectedly fruitful day and looking forward to coming back in the future,
